Ingredients

Preparations

Line a square cake pan or baking dish (approximately 8-inches square) with a piece of wax paper large enough to drape over the sides.

Place the chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over very low heat. Cook the chocolate until it has almost completely melted, stirring constantly to make sure it doesn?t burn. Remove from the heat and let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the marshmallows, almonds, peanuts, raisins, and apricots, and stir until all the ingredients are coated with chocolate. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan, and chill until completely hard, about 3 hours. Transfer the chocolate to a large cutting board, and use a large serrated knife to cut the chocolate into 1-inch blocks.
(Makes about 36 small squares)

Variations

For a layered bar, melt 3/4 cup white chocolate chips and spread the white chocolate over the dark chocolate after it has chilled at least 1 hour. Chill again, until both chocolates have hardened.
